I think the bugs in the "Buggin' Ya" Clear Stamp set are SO cute! What makes these bugs even cuter? A coordinating die set!!! It's so much fun to stamp and color these critters, then use the "Buggin' Ya Die" instead of having to cut around all those tiny legs and antennae!

For the inside, I used one of the twelve sentiments and inlaid the sentiment circle within the designer paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by now here's the

Fine Details!

For my design, I used a Tuesday Morning Sketch from a few weeks ago, Sketch #304.

I recently gave my bathroom a decor makeover that makes me smile every time I walk in! As I pondered my next Sweet N Sassy project I thought it would be fun to see if I could recreate the black and white drama of my shower curtain.

Here's my Inspiration:

For my project, I ended up switching the accent color to pink instead of the dusty lavender because my cardstock in shades of purple didn't lend enough pop.

I have a mini card set to share and some fun news. I have been invited to be part of the design team forRed Rubber Designs!!!

Red Rubber Designs believes, "Trends come and go, but stamping never goes out of style. Whether it’s a handmade card, scrapbook page, art journal or some other project, your stamps can be used to create a beautiful piece of art." I love that!

Today we are taking a little time out to celebrate the special guys in our lives.

As I have mentioned in past posts my husband is an avid backpacker. Before our kids were born we had grand adventures backpacking! I simply loved the hikes. There's something wonderfully peaceful about being out in the wilderness---during.the.day. I am a big chicken when it gets dark! It's just plain scary.

Since my special guy loves the wilderness I colored and fussy cut the campfire from "Camping Fun Clear Stamp Set" but then I hit a few snags. After trying several things that didn't make me smile, inspiration struck and I chuckled out loud.

I paired the soothing sentiment, "relax and enjoy" with some spooky googly eyes reflecting in the flames!

I hope you enjoyed my walk on the silly side! Now make sure you visit the rest of my teammates as they share their tributes to the special guys in their life.

Summer is here and that means longer daylight hours and more color in our gardens! Coneflowers are one of my favorite flowers so I reached for the beautiful Sweet 'N Sassy stamp set, "Flowers in Bloom".

I added lots of dimension to the butterfly by adding three layers to the base wing and then popping up the fourth layer with a sticky foam pad.
